As effective a mirror as Presley might be for modern America, The King's revelations are rote, best suited for middle-school American Studies classes and Rolls-Royce fetishists.&dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

Which makes me wonder if Layton should have jettisoned the film's documentary elements entirely... Still, American Animals is interesting and entertaining enough that these questions just make me want to see it again.&dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

But all in all, Isle of Dogs is worth recommending. Yes, it's probably the most problematic thing Anderson's done. It's also the most intricate, the most alluring, the most frivolous. &dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

It's very easy to see all the things that went wrong during that Air France hijacking; it's a lot harder to figure out how 7 Days in Entebbe made so many consistently bad choices.&dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

An amazing performance from Jesse Plemons, who never lets go of a Westie Terrier. And the ridiculously likable [Rachel] McAdams proves yet again she's the Meryl Streep of her generation.&dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

Annihilation is the best kind of cinematic experience, one that floods the senses without battering them into submission, and one that moves the mind and heart without manipulating them. It's a staggering thing to witness.&dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

So as a star-studded actors' showcase, Murder on the Orient Express is uncomfortable. As a mystery, it's a total bust-you'll care less about solving the murder than about figuring out just what is going on with Branagh's mustache. &dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

Long Strange Trip may be a challenging proposition for non-devotees, but it's worth diving into if you have even a mild interest in 20th-century music or American history. &dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

A couple of clicks toward even more weirdness and Logan Lucky might have landed Soderbergh in Coen Brothers territory. Now that really would have been something to behold.&dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

Wilderpeople is a hugely loveable movie that's suitable for date night or the whole family, and I know that sounds like a hacky movie poster blurb. But when a movie's this good, it's tough to avoid clichés. &dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

This is a movie so perfectly paced, so generous in the portrayal of its characters, so understated and intelligent and incisive that it's painful and lovely to watch.&dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

When you remember how well the first Bad Santa drew its characters-with depth and cruelty and razor-sharp precision-the sequel is less "White Christmas" and more white elephant. &dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

Office Christmas Party rolls out joke after joke like an ever-patient Santa with a bottomless bag of toys-plenty of 'em don't work, but only a Grinch wouldn't crack a smile as the party devolves into expected chaos.&dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT

Charlie Hunnam is excellent as Percy, and Robert Pattinson is charming in a low-key role as his sidekick, but the film's emotional center belongs to Sienna Miller. &dash; The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - EDIT
